Over at Noor!Design Germany Blog we are having an ATC swap organized for you. And so I made my first ATCs ever. Honestly, I always thought "what can you do there with them being so small". But I was sooo wrong!

If you click on the picture above you'll get directed to the swap post on our blog. In general it works like this: you make 4 ATCs, send these to us, together with an envelope with your address written on and with a postage stamp on it. And you'll get 4 ATCs back, that someone else from the participients made.
The theme for this swap is "close to my heart". Valentine's is already over but hearts are always in season, right?

And these are my ATCs. I made a honeycomb background and stamped some cracks on it. Then I added a piece of cardstock with a heartshaped cut out. I added some hearts to this piece of cardstock using the hearts mask art stencil and the structure paste. As decoration I went with a real feather and the flying heart. There's also one Scrabble letter on each of my ATCs that build the word LOVE together.

About me

Hello!I am Kruemel - which means crumbs in german. My real name is Kathrin. I am 41 years old, married for the 2nd time - this time to Mr. right! - and mother to 3 wonderful girls, Vjelisa, 21 years, and the twins Pia and Natascha, 15 years. I love crafting since I was a kid - and now I am a cardmaker, stamper and scrapbooker. I work part time and also do the household but that still leaves me enough time for crafting - also because my husband works night shifts and is playing music in a band.Here I want to show you some of my creations - maybe they can give some inspiration to some of you.Have fun and thanks for looking!If you want to see bigger pics - please feel free to click on them.
